The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), Department of Veterans Affairs has announced a notice for collecting background information from potential employees or volunteers. This information, gathered using VA Form 20-10276a, is needed to determine eligibility for employment and access to VBA systems. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will review this information collection. The public can comment on the information collection until 30 days after the notice's publication, and it is estimated to take 10 minutes per respondent with an annual burden of 2,167 hours for 10,000 respondents.
Simple Explanation
The Veterans Benefits Administration wants to check the backgrounds of people who might work or volunteer with them to make sure they're a good fit. They ask people to fill out a form, which takes about 10 minutes, and when lots of people do this, it adds up to a lot of time.
